I'm flying solo to dive into the questions you sent in, focusing heavily on one of the most critical parts of your wedding day: Photography! I'm answering listener questions about timelines, budgets, and what to do when things go wrong.
Tune in as I dish on:
-
The Photo Delivery Wait: Why does it take so long? I share insight on the mental health and personal challenges photographers face and when it's okay to check in on that 6-week to 6-month editing timeline.
-
Managing Delay Drama: Practical advice for checking in with your photographer, and when outsourcing the raw files might be a necessary, albeit tricky, solution.
-
Perfecting Your Photo Timeline: How to structure your 1.5 hours before the ceremony to fit in the First Look, portraits, and wedding party photos without feeling rushed.
-
The Budget Dilemma: Tips on prioritizing your photography budget and focusing your limited time on key moments that matter most.
-
The Editing Trap: Why human editing is crucial for nuance and storytelling (and why relying on AI or free services can be a huge mistake).
